Excuse me, you are linking the Federalists (Hamilton, Madison and Jay
at the core) with the Libertarians who oppose a strong central
government? The Federalists were the ones seeking central focus.
Libertarians are the opposite.

No, the Federalists are the same as Libertarians. It is the
anti-Federalists that opposed a strong central government. The
Federalist
papers are mostly an anti-federalist product.

sigh Ed? Help me out he where do you think that puts the
"Brutus" essays published in the New York Journal with the Federalist
essays? How 'bout Melancton Smith in New York, or Patrick Henry in
the Virginia Ratifying convention?

In the case of Beck, there is a substancial history in the political
newsgroups that verifies his cluelessness. In fact, Beck is hated by the
left, right and center, for his posted ignorance.
